*scribbling down notes b/c I am going to finish this thing even if it kills me* Hey hon, do you think Sheriff Joe’s the kind of guy who would try to buy his way back into his niece’s good graces by getting Beatles concert tickets for her and her friends?
oooooooooooooooh now there's a question. Would he buy her something because he only understands transactional affection? YES. Would he hate the Beatles for being mop haired pansy hippies? ALSO YES.
Not sure which side would win out, but then again Joe has a Mighty Need to seem like the Beloved Sheriff and Smalltown Authority so would making sure there was a Beatles gig close enough to his podunk town with Satanic magics make him look both Cool to the Youths and like a Stalwart Leader Keeping The Peace to the Adults? Deffo Yes. So he would, on balance. The Beatles would have a miserable fucking time I am sure.
Sheriff Joe Goode: I fucked up somehow with my niece and need to make it up to her.
Also Joe Goode: I should get her a present. Women like presents! Wait, what do the kids like these days?
Sheriff Joe: You, useless annoyance who is dating my niece, be useful for one in your life and answer my question.
Kevin Kaminski: Uh, sure, but FYI, we broke up ‘cause I’m heading to Stanford and she’s going to Parsons...
Sheriff Joe: I am not sure whether to be pleased or pissed off about this.

If this is the AU where the 1978 massacre took place IDK anywhere other than the summer camp full of kids (goddamnit Nicky), then I’m picturing Alice chasing after Cindy as the Watson to her Holmes, Tommy trailing along as the Lestrade to the Dynamic Duo, Nurse Lane as Mrs Hudson/the landlady/owner of the gang’s base of operations, and Arnie on the sidelines with the MJ as the audience surrogate.

Oof. Um. I really need to translate the next chapter out from a jumbled mess of disjointed notes.
Anyway…
Almost the first thing Samuel Goode does when he finally reaches Montreal in 1765, after securing room and board, is get himself baptized (properly, in the Roman Latin rite).
It is partly to keep to his cover story - a descendent of Maryland Catholics dispossessed and their faith outlawed - and mostly b/c he knows very well what’s waiting on the other side for him and his kin.
He manages to get a job as a clerk for the new British-led Canadian government, marries a local girl, and starts his own humble dynasty of functionaries and bureaucrats.

The Grand Habit.
I wrote this years ago, and decided to repost it to Tumblr in case anyone is interested.
For 100 years, from the last decade of Louis XIV until the French Revolution, The Grand Habit, AKA, the Stiff Bodied Gown or the Robe de Cour, was THE most formal dress in all European Courts. It was designed by Louis XIV when, as a crotchety old man, he decided that the ladies of the court were far too casually dressed. It was, in the Grand Old Man Fashion, based on fashions from when he was young. (To compare, imagine Elizabeth II insisting everyone dress like its the 50’s.)
Louis XIV’s wife , Marie Therese, in the inspiration for Court Dress, in the 1660’s
The Grand Habit consisted of a bodice, or top, which had boning sewed in like a built in corset. There was also a very full skirt worn over hoops, sometimes drawn back to show a matching petticoat and a long train. It also had lace sleeves (called engageantes) that were detachable and attached to different dresses, as well as a lace edging around the neckline.

The Grand Habit HAD to be worn at court, except for the three days before the court traveled, when the women who were traveling were permitted to dress more casually. (Almost all did, to show that they were members of the inner circle.)
Pregnant women were also permitted to wear a looser, more comfortable dress, as long as their pregnancy was public knowledge. When Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette received the Venetian Ambassador during one of her pregnancies she made sure to apologize for not wearing the Grand Habit. If she hadn’t, there would have been a diplomatic incident.
Marie Antoniette in a Grand Habit
When Louis XIV reigned, he would send home any woman not wearing it. Madame, his sister in law, famously said that she wore only Court Dresses and Riding Habits.She said “At Versailles which is considered the royal residence, everyone who comes into the King’s presence, or into ours, must be in full Court dress. At Marly, Meudon, and Saint-Cloud, mantuas are worn, also for travelling. I find Court dress much more convenient than mantuas, which I can’t endure.”
Madame in one of the first Grand Habits
Mantuas were a less formal form of dress,which, while fully accepted in England for the most formal of occasions, was not tolerated by Louis.
M. Garsault in the 1769 Encyclopedia Description des Arts et Métiers, describes:
“The day the Lady is presented to the King and Queen, etc., the bodice, train and petticoat must be black: bit all the trimmings are of lace, net, etc. The upper arm, except at the top close to the shoulder where the black sleeve of the bodice is seen, is covered with two flounces of white lace, one below the other, to the elbow. Under the lower flounce there is a decorated band (bracelet noir, forme de pompons). There is also a border of white lace around the neck-line and under that a narrow black tippet (palatine) also decorated from neck to waist. The petticoat and bodice are decorated with puffs, all of which are made from net, lace, etc., also gold.”“When the day of presentation has passed, everything that was black is replaced by colored or gold material. This style of dress has long been worn and has remained unchanged until the present day for ceremonial wear.If the Lady to be presented is not able to endure the heavily boned bodice than she is allowed to wear a lighter one, covered with a mantilla, with the court train and petticoat. As the mantilla covers the upper arm the top lace flounce, which would not be seen, is omitted. The mantilla is made from any light material such as gauze, net, lace, etc.”
The Grand Habit was extremely expensive, and most noblewomen bought them second hand, especially the black dress worn the first time at court. After all, if you are going to invest all that money in a dress, you want it to be a color that you like.The skirt alone required between 20-25 yards of very expensive fabric. The top, or bodice, required another yard, plus loads of extremely valuable handmade lace. And then you had to pay a seamstress to sew it all together. And with materials that valuable, you were going to a really good seamstress who wasn’t going to mess it up. In 1787 a grand habit cost the equivalent of 2,000 days wages for a worker!

The Grand Habit was not as required in other countries as it was in France. Mantuas were considered acceptable court dress for all but the most formal occasions. However, a Grand Habit made of cloth of silver was the usual wedding gown for royal brides, from Marie Antoinette to Catherine the Great.

Though robe de cour were always made of rich fabrics, the bodices could be further ornamented with stomachers and jewelry (including jeweled stomachers). Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom owned a famous diamond stomacher, which was fought over by her descendants.

Brooches were also pinned all over the skirt. Some of Catherine the Great’s dress ornaments still exist today.
The shape of the skirt worn with the robe de cour had always changed with the fashions of the time, but the bodice, except for some very slight alterations in style, stayed mostly the same. (This is very much like The Russian Court dress a century later.) The only major change in the bodice style was a shift in the 1770’s and 1780’s from very low, scooped shoulder-baring necklines to slightly higher, squarer necklines that matched the current fashions

Marie Antoinette in the 1780’s. Notice the difference in neckline.

The shape of robe de cour skirts, however, did change with current fashions. The first robe de cour were worn without hooped petticoats, as the panier did not become common in France until at least 1720. In the 1720’s robe de cour had relatively restrained, conical skirts.(see above). By the 1760’s the skirts become enormous, but very thin and rectangular:
By the 1780’s, the skirts were not as extreme and rectangular, but they were covered with all sorts of trimmings.
There were also regional differences in skirt shape. In the 1740’s-60’s the English tended to wear a very rectangular hoop. The French wore a hoop, that while just as wide at the hem, was more sloping and less square at the corners.
Anne, Princess Royal of the United Kingdom
The train of the robe de cour could be worn either from the shoulders or from the waist, though the latter was more common. The length of the train was an indication of status: the longer the train, the higher the rank of the wearer. The etiquette of train wearing varied from country to country. In England one held ones train up, draped over one arm, as a sign of respect. In France, despite the much-remarked upon filth of Versailles’ hallways, one wore one’s train down as a sign of respect.

It was extremely uncomfortable, and disliked by many women, especially Marie Antoinette. It was banned in France by the revolution, but held on in England until 1810, though it did look odd when women tried to wear them with the high wasted skirts of the Empire style.

So I'm hearing rumors that they're continuing the Fear Street movies, but I think those movies are about the other killers though. Like these movies are spinoff movies for the other killers. Because I've heard one of the movies is about the Milk Man. But these are just rumors.
I don't know who true that is yet.
But if the Goode men come back for these movies, I would like to see Ashley Zukerman and Ted Sutherland as the Goode men again (since they were already using the same actors throughout the Fear Street movies).
I've heard those rumours too! About like spin off movies like Ruby Lane or the milkman. Those would be fun! Me and a few others are hoping they'll do an anthology series but keep the actors in different roles. If not, I hope they do bring the old cast back (Nick as a ghost advising whoever took the book would be cool)!
I guess we'll see though. The movies are pretty much confirmed but we don't know much. Hopefully Ash and Ted get to come back!
Oooh, I had a thought! If there’s ever a scene where three generations of Goode men are in the same room, assuming Ted’s the youngest and Ashley his dad or uncle, who would play the eldest?
Hi there! I’m rereading OaLC again, and I’m wondering if Amelia Tyler’s name was a shoutout to Billie Piper and Karen Gillan’s stint as Companions on the reboot Doctor Who?
It wasn't intentional when I first named the character, and then I realized the names and went "...fuck yes, sticking with Amelia Tyler for the shoutout."
I love unintentional shoutouts! 🤣😂🥰
Query to the cat people out there - is this in any way accurate?
I wouldn’t mind finding out for myself but deathly allergic to cats and would rather like to keep breathing.
(@deadcatwithaflamethrower, what do you think?)
Scrawling down ideas for FS fic… Somehow I skipped ahead to 1964 where Will is a babe in arms. Mrs. Goode has her hands full with the baby, her sister-in-law needs a break, the SIL’s husband needs a drink, Nick’s a toddler, Kurt’s the same (& is eating crayons), and Sheriff Joseph Goode is somehow roped into helping parent the most perplexing creature in existence - a stroppy teenage girl. (He doesn’t remember his sister being this bad. Was she? Ugh.) Also, he can too ground his niece. So there.
And then he took it out on Ruby. Was she friends with his niece? But yes this messy family dynamic sounds about right. I pity Joseph’s sister no wonder she turned out…………. badly. No one in the family ever had a chance.
Alas, Ruby and the niece (I don’t have a name for her yet. Any suggestions?) were not friends. Niece was leader of Sunnyvale‘s choir group, heard Shadyside HS was A) having their group bumped up to Ohio state show choir semifinals b/c technicalities & B) are putting on a production of West Side Story. Cue sneaking into Shadyside to scope out their competition & potentially throw rotten tomatoes b/c they’re Sunnyvale shits.
Except there’s no booing or flinging of fruit b/c despite the low production values & handmade costumes & the Sheriff being an obvious pastiche of her Uncle Joe - the Shadysiders are good.
Really really good.
Good enough that the Niece is starting to get worried about her previous convictions of the finals and shiny first place trophy being in the bag.
And the biggest surprise is Ruby Lane, who everyone would think was playing Maria, the ingenue. Nope. Ruby’s strutting around the stage as Anita and absolutely killing it.
Here’s a dirty little secret: Niece, up until that moment, had been 100% sure she’d been straight b/c she has a very nice polite boyfriend, it’s the 1960s in America, in Sunnyvale, and she’s both a good girl & a Goode girl and there is no other way for her to be.
Our girl is deep in the closet, somewhat in denial, and really can’t cope.
Cue the temper tantrums and angst-ridden meltdown b/c she can’t say any of this out loud. Not to her Mom, not to her Dad, and definitely not to her Uncle Joe, bless him for trying.
Joseph Goode is very fond of his niece, thinking her a precursor for the daughter(s) he would be getting after Nick - except Will was born and what the hell, the family isn’t flourishing as well as he’d thought…
Anyway.
Joe just wants to see Niece happy. Since this Ruby Lane is clearly making his sister’s girl unhappy, and it’s time for a new Name (bit early, but Joseph has leeway), well.
Two birds, one stone.
He grounds his Niece for a month, b/c sneaking into Shadyside isn’t something done by Goode girls even if they’re aided and abetted by their boyfriends.
He’s not her Dad? All right then.
Niece’s Dad: You’re grounded.
Niece: *inarticulate screech of frustration*
Niece’s Boyfriend escapes Death-Via-Devil by a hair’s breadth. He’s from North Shadydale meaning he’s about 100 years and four generations removed from being an acceptable (Shadyside) target. He also almost turned Union County into a goddamn Superfund site by making a DIY nuclear reactor in his backyard with a bunch of old smoke detectors. (It would raise Shadyside’s property values, though…)
Joseph can’t stand this kid, less since he and Niece started dating, but contents himself with giving the little shit a Come-To-Jesus speech and the fact that Boyfriend is in his senior year, has the entire Ivy League plus MIT and Caltech offering him full ride scholarships, and by September he’ll be someone’s else mad genius problem.
Or the Soviets will kidnap him.
Whatever. Joe is done.
All of this is so good! And Accurate. And of course Joe Boy’s the Condescending Kind of paternalistic. Satan’s withdrawing, too. He can sense the change is near Whaddaya know? Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come is from 1963!) with how modern tech will make the Pact harder and he too is Done With the Goodes. Plus Joe dies early, we know it.
As for the Niece I’m feeling Carol is too On The Nose but. Carolyn. Carolyn sounds like a very Goode Girl name. Perhaps something like Carolyn Suzanne and they *always* call her that. Not Carol or Suzy. Carolyn Suzanne. Every time. Nancy Jo could also work.
Whatever her name ends up being (Carolyn always makes me think of “Sweet Caroline” & Nancy for me = Natalia Dyer’s character from Stranger Things), I have Niece being played by the lovely Emma Myers. B/c why the hell not?
Also in case we don’t feel sorry enough for her already, she’s the much-older sister of Kurt (from FS1978). Imagine having to babysit that brat! Then again, he was eating crayons…
Oh Emma! I love her for it and that haircut works too. Perhaps for the name Mary Something? Mary Katherine, Mary Patricia, Mary Elizabeth. Something she always gets full named by.
Also lol at the fact that that would make Kurt Nick’s dumbass cousin. Which. Yeah that makes sense. No wonder he continually bends the knee and gets a nepo spot in the police dept. He’s not a Goode proper but really kind of their Igor equivalent.
😂 Oh yes, Kurt is absolutely the trusted (tolerable?) servant type there. Especially as by this point the male-line Goodes are down to just Nicky and Will. That’s it. All of the other lines of descent from Solomon’s other sons have dried up/died out and it took Will being born for Joe to do a double take and be all “WTF is going on? Ok, seriously what the fucking FUCK is going on?!?!” Hit the panic button, do some very ill-advised things, get the Devil and Co going “We are not amused” at him in response.
We all know how his idiot flailing worked out: Joseph ends up dead by Summer 1978. Nicky takes over the Pact. The wheels turn and the scales become balanced.
Can I just go the Danza route and call the niece Emma? Let’s say her Mom was an Austen fan. Nicky inherited the love of classic literature, even if his choice of genre and authors isn’t necessarily to his family’s liking.
Visual Aesthetics
Writing a history-based fic, even if it’s an alternate history, means falling down the endless rabbit hole that is an insane shitton of research. I’m not even a History major! (Anymore.)
For example: good goddamn, the 1850-1860s had some gorgeous dresses. I’m drowning in fashion plates and crinolines over here, and I want to wear some of those frocks! Impractical as hell, yes, but beautiful all the same.
And then I came across this old school photo of a woman who looked enough like Lacy Camp, AKA the actress who plays Sam’s Mom/Goody Miller in Fear Street, to possibly be her great-great-grandmother.
So if you ever wanted to know what pre-Civil War Rachel Rikken looked like circa 1960 before the Union County Slaughter, here y’all go.
(Damnit, I want those sleeves! Don’t tell me they’re impractical! 😩😒😕)
